You mean they don't get off Amtrak in San Diego and figure out that the 
trolley stops at the back side of their hotel, pay the couple bucks, and 
go, but instead take a cab, or rent a car?

We rented a car for one day while in SF this past trip. We had a meeting 
at Apple. Nice trip down the ridge and then back north on CA 17 
in a convertible. Otherwise it was MUNI, BART or hoof it.

PCC to Fishermans' Wharf, walk back. PCC to Fishermans' Wharf, walk, cable
